Rep. Calvert Statement on Attack in Tuscon, Arizona

Statement

Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA) issued the following statement in response to the attack on Rep. Giffords (D-AZ) and the murder of six people on Saturday, January 8, 2010.

"My thoughts and prayers are with the Giffords family as we all wish her a complete recovery from this senseless act of violence. My thoughts are also with the injured and with the families of the six people killed: Dorothy Morris, Judge John Roll, Phyllis Schneck, Dorwin Stoddard, Gabe Zimmerman and nine-year old Christina Taylor Green. No words can ease the pain of their families but our country shares in the grief of six lives cut short. I am also heartened by the many stories of heroism last Saturday; men and women who did not hesitate to come to the assistance of their fellow man and without regard to their own life, intervened and subdued the shooter.

"It is during moments of tragedy that Americans forget our differences and unite around our common goodness: we love our country and our countrymen, and we will never let any one act or one individual deter us from living in freedom and without fear."
